MenuAvery Hill, Kent
Avery Hill is a suburban village in Kent. Avery Hill House (1891) was built by John Thomas North who had made his fortune in the sodium nitrate trade in Chile. The grounds were opened as Avery Hill Park in 1903. In 1906 the house became the nucleus of Avery Hill College of Education. The great hall of North’s mansion (used as a library by the college) survives, as does the adjacent glass-domed winter garden. Farmland to the east of the park was developed from the 1930s, creating the suburban village of Avery Hill - now contiguous with Blackfen to its east. The village is within the council area of Greenwich.
